Have you ever been to Chongqing? What to do in Banan, Chongqing?

Chongqing Banan District, formerly known as Ba County, a historical city, was once the seat of the capital of Ba and has a history of more than 3,000 years. In 316 BC, the Qin State established Bajun here. In the third year of Wucheng in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (561), Bajun was renamed Baxian. In December 1994, Ba County was abolished and Banan District was established.

Banan District is the only administrative district in Chongqing with the word "Ba". It has a long history and a rich collection of humanities. There are fully preserved ancient towns such as Fengsheng, Mudong and Xiliutuo.

It is worth mentioning that many people’s favorite stars Wang Yuan and Xiao Zhan both came out of Banan.

In the scorching heat of Chongqing in this midsummer, I don’t have much energy to pay attention to celebrities. Banan broke into my field of vision purely because this vast area is somewhat unique. A few days ago, The tourism "double exposure" event held attracted my attention. In the hot summer, cool places not far from me have appeared one after another. There are many options to choose from when going to Banan to escape the summer heat.

Banan City Landscape

Looking at Banan carefully, its rich tourism resources are amazing: it has more than 60 large and small rivers, 60 kilometers of Yangtze River coastline, and 4 river centers. Islands, 93 lakes, and nearly 50% of the main city’s forest area. There are also new cultural and tourism landmarks such as Hanhai Ocean Park, Bloomage LIVE, and Yunlin Tianxiang, which have injected vitality into it that keeps pace with the times.

Banan is too big and has too many attractions. In the face of dazzling scenery, you really need to go to Wucunjing and plan the route well, so that you can enjoy the coolness and find wonders with confidence. The purpose of this article is not to explain in superfluous way how to travel in Banan, but to focus on the issue of how to travel in Banan, which is not a big deal or a small one. After all, it is a bit unkind to temporarily search for tourist destinations in Chongqing’s blazing outdoor sun.

One

Route: Urban area? Shengdeng Mountain? Foying Gorge? Shiling Village

1. Shengdeng Mountain

The World on the Cloud

Shengdeng Mountain is known as "Little Emei in Eastern Sichuan". The average temperature here is 6℃ to 8℃ lower than that in the main city. You need to cover yourself with a quilt when sleeping at night.

Buddhist culture is the main culture here, and you can see wonderful and lifelike Buddha statues along the way. The Buddha statues are all carved out of stone on the mountain, and the green trees are lush, giving off a strong sense of Zen.

Climbing Shengdeng Mountain is very physical. Most of the roads are dug on huge rocks and cliffs. The stone roads are steep, and in some places there are even steep stone stairs approaching 90 degrees.

After every arduous climb, there must be beautiful scenery: either a field, or green rocks and bamboos. The cool breeze blowing through the mountain forest is followed by the joyful singing of mountain birds.

Sheshen Cliff, Tiger Leaping Rock, Snake Shedding Shell? Each of these interesting attractions requires you to participate. After investing in them, the annoying temperature in Chongqing has long been forgotten.

2. Foying Gorge

Drifting into the coolness

Foying Gorge has majestic mountains and the canyon is filled with mist and rain all year round. It is a natural river suitable for rafting.

The unique waterfall here is leaping and drifting, breaking through the waves from the Lotus Waterfall with a vertical height of more than 5 meters. The total drop of the whole rafting process is 117 meters. Rafting does not require paddles and is as exciting as a water roller coaster.

If you are afraid of water, you can walk along the stream, where the vegetation is lush and the sun is quiet. When a dragonfly touches the water, crabs roam everywhere. The long-lost wildness is always with us.

3. Shiling Cottage

Summer Resort

Shiling Cottage is suitable for a family to stay for a few days. The environment here is quiet, with lush grass and trees, and it is always green.

Walking on the forest trails, the mountain springs and mist complement each other, and fishing by the pond is still pleasant. There is also a viewing platform in the cottage, where you can see the magnificent tea mountains.

Listen to the cool breeze, drink clear tea, and enjoy happiness. Here you can get the three pure things in the world of mortals.

Two

Route: Urban area? Nan Hot Spring? Qiaoping Mountain

1. Nan Hot Spring

Hot Spring Water Heating

< p>Chongqing South Hot Spring has been famous for a long time, and there is basically no publicity. Anyway, if old Chongqing people talk about topics such as recuperation, they can't avoid this place.

South Hot Spring has beautiful and unique scenery, with hot springs, streams, and garden scenery as the main landscapes, as well as unique cold springs. Come here during the hot summer season and spend the summer soaking in the cold springs, which is quite relaxing.

South Hot Spring also has the longest slide in Asia. It is very suitable for a family trip with children.

2. Qiaoping Mountain

Qiaoping Family

If building a transparent bridge on the cliff is tantamount to announcing: I am very dangerous, then Qiaoping Mountain is The originator. But I think the reason why it allows me to visit here is not that it keeps pace with the times, but that its name is full of simple poetry.

Those who understand the meaning of Lanke are naturally familiar with it, while those who do not understand it are at odds with time. Failure is inevitable, it is better to let go of yourself and enter the tranquility you want. While walking carefully in front of the window lattice, I played chess slowly.

Hot and cold are not a problem at all in the minds of people who start to think about it.

Three

Routes: urban area? Fengsheng Ancient Town? Yanglu Mountain? Pipa Cave

1. Fengsheng Ancient Town

Slow

Slowly walk into the ancient town. In this midsummer August, it is best to arrive early.

The burning aura spread from the main city to this place.

The watchtowers, ancient stages, gray tiles and blue bricks, as well as the old walls with blue stone and moss, show the mentality of lingering in the world over time, and the reluctance to let go. In the hot weather, you may have forgotten the sauna weather in Chongqing.

When I was hungry and sweating profusely, I randomly entered a simple shop and asked for a bowl of river-water tofu pudding, which brought back memories of my life.

2. Yanglu Mountain

Eat the apples of the wild

Yo yo deer roar, eat the apples of the wild.

When I see the sika deer, I can't help but think of Cao Mengde and "Dan Ge Xing" who is thirsty for talents.

When we came to Yanglu Mountain, the grass was luxuriant. The mountain breeze blows and the deer play.

When you feel the fragrance of earth in the fields and visit the leisurely herds of deer in the mountains, time slows down and so does the sunshine. You can learn farming here, eat farm food, and sing your own "Return to the Countryside".

3. Pipa Cave

Pipa Fairy Sound

Legend has it that there is a fairy in the Pipa Cave, holding a pipa and transmitting fairy music.

I don’t know if there are fairies, but the coolness in the cave is indeed the most refreshing thing in the hot summer weather. Against the backdrop of the colorful lights of various colors, the cave appears strangely colorful, as well as the graceful shape possessed by imagination, turning this place into a celestial palace. It seems that it is not impossible to accidentally meet a fairy who is distracted by reading.

Four

Routes: Urban area? Jielong Town? Shuangzhai Mountain

1. Jielong Town

Longquan River Rafting

The grapes in Solitaire Town are ripe.

The sweetness of picking and sweating in the hot orchard is proof that Chongqing people work tirelessly in the summer.

When you sweat from work, you naturally have to wash yourself in the water. As you swim down the Longquan River Valley like a landscape gallery, you will feel the refreshing coolness and transparent cleanliness as a reward for your pastoral work.

2. Shuangzhai Mountain

Living by the water

The temperament of Shuangzhai Mountain is very quiet, like a silent lady, sitting upright in the blue sky and white clouds Below, the calm and clear lakeside.

The woods are deep and the green mountains are faint. Pushing open the bamboo window, the landscape is painted in the bottom of my heart. Move a bamboo chair and sit by the waterside, watching the clouds roll in and the sun go westward. Tao Yuanming's words naturally echoed in my heart: There is a true meaning in this, but I have forgotten to say it.

Banan is home to outstanding people. Walk into it and forget about the mountains, rivers and countryside in its coolness and beauty. Be a carefree person and hide in the refreshing coolness in the mountain city's furnace-like summer.
